Kapitel 39: Hot Weather

After returning from the underworld, Zhu Lin suffered severe internal injuries and almost died.Later, the Devil God came to visit her again after learning that she had been seriously injured from that trip.

He stood by her bed, frowned deeply, and said, "I understand now. It seems that you don't like flowers. After you recover, I will prepare another gift for you. I'm confident that you will like it this time."

At that time, Zhu Lin was so angry that she suffered another internal injury and couldn't get out of bed for two years. But the next time the Devil God came again, it was the last time she saw him, and he disappeared without a trace after that.

Shaking her head to dispel that bad memory, Zhu Lin calmly said, [Don't curse me.]

After speaking, she calmly walked down the stairs. She walked for a while before reaching the basement. Looking at the big red spider lily covered by green vines in the middle of the basement, Zhu Lin said, [This is the source of the fragrance.]

As if sensing that they were going to destroy it, the red spider lily shook a few times, and the pink mist suddenly became thicker. Zhu Lin pulled out Bing Jian from the scabbard, waiting for the mutated red spider lily to attack her, but it just swayed unsteadily, while releasing a sweet fragrance constantly.

"..." Looking at the gorgeous flower among the vines, Zhu Lin was speechless.

She looked at the same speechless rabbit, and asked, [... Could it be that this flower can only spread hallucination mist?]

[... I think so.] Tu Tu replied with a sigh.

Thinking that if the flower continued to spread the hallucination mist, it would be dangerous to three men outside, Zhu Lin raised her sword and cut the flower in half.

Slash!

Slashed in half by her sword, the large flower slowly withers, along with the vines and other little red spider lilies. Zhu Lin didn't know that when they fell into a hallucination, the red spider lily would use vines to completely absorb them. Before the red spider lily completely withered, it let out a shrill scream, and then unwillingly turned into dust.

Tu Tu looked at the dust in the basement, let out a disappointed sigh, and said, [I thought we could fight a powerful enemy. It turned out that this flower is only good at spreading hallucination mist.]

Putting her sword back into the ice flower pendant, Zhu Lin said, [This is easy for us thanks to this Qingxin flower. But it would not be easy for mortals to fight against this flower.]

After picking up the green crystal nucleus from the pile of dust, Zhu Lin and Tu Tu left the basement. When they came out of the white door, Xiu Wu and the others had already entered the shop.

Seeing her coming out of the basement, Xiu Wu walked up to her and worriedly asked, "Are you alright?"

Zhu Lin took the small white flower from her lips, showed him the green crystal nucleus, and said, "Mhm, I'm fine. It's just a red flower with a hallucination mist that can kill people."

Looking at the green crystal nucleus on her palm, Xiu Wu slightly raised his eyebrows and asked, "Second rank mutant plant?"

Zhu Lin didn't know what grade the red spider lily was, so she didn't answer him. Noticing that she was only staring at him, Xiu Wu said, "Keep it. You kill it, so it's yours."

Thinking that this wood element crystal nucleus could be given to Tu Tu, Zhu Lin nodded and put it into her ice flower pendant.

A second later, Ji Yang's voice came from the second floor of the shop. "Lao Xiu, we're done here."

Xiu Wu looked at Ji Yang who came down from the second floor covered in dust, and said, "All right."

After speaking, Xiu Wu looked at Zhu Lin and said, "Let's go."

After Ji Yang collected enough planting pots and soil, they left the shop. Since it was still early when they left the shop, they continued on their way, collecting supplies and crystal nucleus along the way.

A few hours later, Tan Wei looked at the bright sun above his head. He lowered his eyes, opened his backpack, took a bottle of mineral water, and drank half of it in one go.

Sweat dripped from his chin onto the asphalt road as he asked, "Don't you guys think it's very hot today?"

Ji Yang took the mineral water from his hand, drank the rest of the water, and said, "Yes. Look at my skin."

He showed them his arm, and the others could see that most of his skin had already turned red. Looking at the peeling skin, one could even see some blood oozing from his wound.

Xiu Wu frowned and said, "Let's find a place to have lunch first."

They didn't have breakfast today, so they are starving right now. After leaving Market Street, they continued to fight and kill zombies non-stop. Since everyone was tired and hungry, they quickly found a small restaurant and rested after cleaning up the zombies inside the building.

Sitting around a long table, Ji Yang took out a few pieces of bread from his space and distributed them to everyone, while saying, "Let's eat something simple. The weather is too hot, and I have no appetite."

Zhu Lin took the bread and asked, "Did you not put medicine on your wounds?"

Ji Yang shook his head and said, "It's hard to find medicine now. I can still bear this kind of minor injury."

She looked at his arm and saw blood still oozing out from the wounds. After thinking about it, Zhu Lin took out a small porcelain jar from the ice flower pendant.

She put the small porcelain jar in front of Ji Yang and said, "Treat the wound first, so as not to make it worse. Apply this ointment thinly to the wounds, and it will heal tomorrow."
